I like your thoughts ,but i really disagree.
First ..lack of group dynamics ?? the group was formed in front of you and the more people in it , the more their interractions were intense and fun .
And yeah " what can you do " is actually on point ..her skills with the bow are good but still below hak.. and as a fighter yona is trully weak.
Soo-won is indeed good because it's clear that his motivations are not driven by a simple quest for power.
And the show ended up that way because it was over when it would trully start. a shame..S2 is needed.
The follow-up that this franchise deserved. One cannot claim to have watched madoka without the third movie./

Subete no aware
The anime pretty much hints at where those stories go, although I haven't read the manga myself in ages, so I'm not even sure where they are nowadays.

It looks liek it's on Youtub, so I'm watching it on my phone now...

But Glasslip isnt bad, and though it started out slow, the romance in it was kind of nice to see it grow over time and everyone grow on their own or with their respective partners. The fantasy futuresight aspect was intriguing too. Really its one of the most underrated anime.

Gundam Build Fighters Try Episode 24
Reiji could have shown up in the anime or something.
Sekai deserved a role on the floor level too, he is like an honorary Try Fighters teammate at this point in time, especially considering the outcome.
Great fight though it would have pretty terrible implications for people who were living in that colony (a junius seven, I guess), and then when part of the Earth got chipped off...Would be interesting if a Gundam actually did do that in a serious series.
Lance Bits were amazing, more Gundams need bits, its one of the coolest parts to mechas.

Madoka Rebellion is a ovie that you definitely don't want to watch on a small phone screen since it is so visually stimulating. Watch it on a proper TV set!
Puruzi wanted you to watch Eiken.

so it's even more dark, twisted and emotionally draining than the series.... Great.

Hopefully we'll get some proper endings this time round

You're just asking for a movie sequel to get announced.

A while back. Seems perfect.
I think he was referring to Rebellion

Spring Cross Ange 2015 |OT| You can talk about other anime here too, but why?
Shhhhh. Im trying to throw him off the scent.
Im kinda sad because theres no more Shirobako after that and also because it will take me several more weeks to get to that point.
^ Apparently it has the best female character arc of 2014.
It's really bad too.
The completionist in me will probably make it happen. (ಥ﹏ಥ
The silent implication that first season was worthwhile is the biggest praise you ever gave this show. lol
This one
Or this one. But seems like bit too late for it.
6 eps of Shirobako to catch up to the finale.

It gets better with every episode.
Shirobako 24
"You know, I have the strangest feeling that I've seen that ship before. A long time ago, when I was very young."
This is one of those rare seasons where the anime I like and the anime that AnimeGAF as a whole likes mostly overlap, and for me, what I liked about Shirobako wasn't so much that it was about adults or the workforce, but that it was about artists and creativity. You can have an anime with five girls in the lead and make it interesting. (Though the anime industry still has quite a lot of dudes. Such is the way of the world.) It even got people to care about Exodus and Aerial Girls, shows that, if they were actual anime, would've gotten a "meh" at best before they aired. The cast was still fairly young, and that's one of the things I like about anime. Its characters haven't hardened to the world yet. They'll make mistakes because of it, but those mistakes are where stories come from.
The documentary-ish/biographical nature of it does help quite a lot, but it also proves that every anime, from your idol shows to your kids' shows, everything more than just the big tentpole releases, has people doing their best behind them. Whether it's an original or a tie-in. There will be communication problems, time problems, budget problems, but nobody actually wants to put out a bad product. Not saying that such products can't be criticized, but more that nobody goes into an anime saying they want to be bad. That applies whether it's an original or a tie-in.
The theme I got from this is how such a difficult environment, though collective teamwork, ends up making art happen. I have a lot more respect for anime now, and after seeing its behind the scenes stuff - if slightly stylized - I'll keep that in mind when viewing every show. I wish we had gotten a little more in the way of writing and voice acting, since those are the fields I'm most interested in - and voice actors' jobs can be just as strenuous as the animators. They're more visible, but that doesn't make them less important. I don't think I'll ever be fully animation literate, or want to analyze my shows that way, but I can appreciate it and will try to work it in at least a little.
Plus it gave me two new shows within a show that I can analyze to see what they say about the anime of today. Maybe one of them will be turned into a full length anime ala KujiUn someday. And there's still that spinoff manga about them in high school. Maybe, like Free, that could be turned into a movie. Or a spinoff series. Or an OVA. There's a lot more to do with these characters.
I liked it. Probably not for exactly the same reasons as everybody else, but it was something that might become a classic.

Gundam Reconguista-26[ fin]
I can say the mecha combat did get better with Sunrise siphoning off any talent from Try and moving it to Reconguista. I mean the fights still weren't storyboarded that well but many sequences did have some sakuga cuts buried in there. The OST was pretty forgettable other than the theme songs which were largely wasted as both the OPs are atrocious visually.
I want to say that I have no clue why I finished the show. That would imply a lack of a firm opinion on my part. Unfortunately I do, I stayed for the Yoshida and mech designs. I hated almost every single aspect of this shitty fucking show and I stayed because I liked the character designs. *sigh* There are so many bad elements of this show such as Raraiya being literally retarded for half the run, 10 different factions being introduced with zero fanfare, plot elements that pop up and are unimportant, and characters in general either being stupid or insane. Like why was Bell even fighting in the first place? Then we have Luin who wanted to randomly kill his ex-best friend because Bell is somehow going to become a dictator. You also have Manny who really doesn't put up a protest about Luin getting a hard-on at the prospect of killing Bell. Just completely stupid. There are parts that are completely supposed to be comedic in nature but due to how stupid or lame the joke is, I deadpanned my way through them.
Noredo getting Chuchumied in the finale was the best part of the episode.
I can't even say that it's just the writing that is the pits but things such as direction and storyboarding are terrible too. I mean I knew Tomino was a terrible director a long ass time ago but good lord this is the worst work I've seen from him to date. That said, I don't go around watching some of his true 'masterpieces' such as Brain Powerd or Garzey's Wing. Many scenes have no tension, buildup, flow, or consequences. We have characters being killed off and then promptly forgotten about. The latter half of the show exhibits traits of Tomino's Kill 'em All Phase but is nowhere near as impactful as say Zeta because I don't give a fuck about any of the characters and it's not as extreme either. So we're left with a show that just has the worst elements of Tomino as a director and writer.
When you need a chart like this just to explain the goddamn factions, your plot is beyond convoluted.

Hopefully the Reconguista franchise is dead so Yoshida can move on to better things and I don't waste any more of my time watching a bad show. If I'm lucky, next time Tomino can get a shitty character designer for his show so I can be sure to skip it.
I did enjoy all the brown waifus though.

The French call it nanar.
Cinderella Girls 11
Cats and rock, two themes that seemingly don't go well together unless you're talking about next season's Show By Rock!!, in which case, of course they go together. I like episodes like this, where two characters bicker with each other and then learn to work things out. Also, with this, all the girls in the main cast have been divided into either units or, in Ranran's case, a solo persona. Riina and Miku kinda feel like a "they're all we had left" duo, but the story really made it work. Plus we got to see a little bit more of their lives outside of the production company. Makes me wonder where the show is going to go from here and in its second half.
